Miiiiight have an excuse to go to Los Angeles for the first time ever in a few weeks. Nothing's even close to set in stone, but: where are my LA-based screenwriter twitter friends who want to meet up?? Also it might fall during AFF so maybe you'll all be in Texas anyway lol

Reports this morning of ICE sightings just south of my neighborhood. So much for feeling safe at home. I know most of my friends here aren’t Chicago-based so I don’t really know who this is for. Just need an outlet for feeling a little scared I guess.

I’ve felt relatively safe in my neighborhood and near my workplace the last few days, and I know that I’m unlikely to be a target for violence, but I just read on an ICE sighting thread that they were at my train stop downtown like 30 minutes after I was there today and ugh

Listen to our latest episode, recently described by a regular listener as “100% the best episode of The Writer’s Cut” 💜

Is your tactical brand on national TV? It could be. Some of the smartest names in the space are finding new ways to reach their ideal customers—and make an impression. See how you can too.

3) do not watch if you’re currently deep in your feelings about the new brand of Nazis presently in Chicago 😭 I cried HARD during the second “Edelwiess”!!

Currently watching THE SOUND OF MUSIC for my podcast and: 1) it holds up 2) I am taking serious notes on writing romance!

I know my husband is truly in love with me because I asked him what I was borderline-disturbingly obsessed with when I was twelve and he got it right (It was the musical Les Miserables)

Having a day where it feels very pointless to work at my silly little theater job and write my silly little scripts when the world is crumbling around me I mean I’m still gonna do it, it just feels pointless

Feeling a little nauseous right now tbh

I fucking hate talking myself up to people and what I almost hate more is that it keeps working so I have to keep doing it Riding the high of someone pretty cool offering to read my work tonight because I was brave and told them I’m a writer 💜

Absolutely astonished to be receiving lovely emails from people I met at AFF **last year** who have since read BREAST IN SHOW. For those of you going for the first time this year, I seriously cannot overemphasize the amazing people you will meet!

Just to keep me humble, I got a proper "Cease and Desist" email from a different production company today, so: everything balances out, I guess!

New draft of my stage play RED DEVIL coming in at 98 pages, up from 65! Can't believe I added 33 pages to this script in a week and a half. My playwriting workshop helped me so much with this.

38 today. Happy to be here.

I am very sliiightly over caffeinated tonight and it’s making work interesting for sure

Got a rare “it’s our policy not to accept unsolicited scripts, but this logline is really interesting so please send it over” from a production company in response to a cold query. Don’t give up!

Social media is toxic and horrible but also the Instagram account for the dog in a play I worked on like three years ago just watched one of my stories so you might say it’s all worth it

Got home from work at midnight; woke up at 6am; currently on a train to work with 20 minutes in my commute left and I keep nodding off. Tips on staying awake right now?? I already have loud music playing in my headphones

I ate half a gluten free bagel at 4pm and proceeded to forget to eat dinner at work, so I am now wolfing down a bowl of instant mashed potatoes at midnight and frankly I feel unstoppable
